UFC: The Rock responds to Nate Diaz saying he ‘picked the wrong side’ with Jorge Masvidal
- Hollywood icon Dwayne Johnson says ‘that’s the Nate we all know and love’
- ‘Nate, he gets it. He knows me and Jorge are boys, we’re from Miami’
Johnson of course was on hand to wrap the “BMF” belt around the waist of the main event winner at Madison Square Garden, where Jorge Masvidal was victorious by medical stoppage.
“F*** The Rock too, man,” Diaz jokingly said at the post-event press conference after his defeat. “That [expletive] over here playing me. See him over here smiling with Masvidal. Should have had Mike Tyson handing out a belt if anybody. I don’t give a f*** about any belt anyway, but he can get it too.”
But in an appearance on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show, The Rock showed he had no ill will towards Diaz.
“I wasn’t surprised at Nate’s comments because that’s the Nate that we all know and love,” Johnson said. “He is as advertised. Nate, he gets it. He knows that me and Jorge we’re boys, we’re from Miami. We have a lot of deep connections down there.
